LA Kings Gameday HQ

CONTENTS
2014-15 Team Previews
The Los Angeles Kings are in the midst of a mini dynasty, having scored two Stanley Cups in the three
seasons. Going for the repeat won’t be easy (the last NHL team to do so were the Detroit Red Wings in 1997
and ’98) as many teams are poised to topple the champs, but if they do it will be the first time since the
Edmonton Oilers to win three titles in four years.
Hidden Gems
In hockey it’s easy to focus on the
wizardry of the decorated players
who can score goals and set the
table for others, or the goalie who
mans the island surrounding the
net, but on every roster is a guy
who rarely gets the headlines or
accolades, but is crucial to their
team’s success.
Digging Deeper
Into the Ice
Measuring the game simply by
goals, assists, points and saves
is as antiquated as watching the
action from standard definition
tube television. As we now
get have ultra 4K resolution
televisions to view the game,
we also have deeper metrics to
help us analyze it.
Under Review:
NHL 15
With another season of the NHL’s
premiere video game, we get next
level graphics and action that
brings the game into our hands.
